The 1916 version of the Lexington class doesn't work, as specified, in Springsharp

I have been adjusting factors in Springsharp 3.0b1 to see if I can an acceptable version of the 1916 version of the Lexington class battlecruisers. I am hampered by not having a good set of specifications with me. The problems are created by the narrow beam of 90ft-11in and the problems with recoil. Seakeeping and strength also interact in an unfortunate way. I will be forced to greatly reduce freeboard, to see if that will help. The best I can do is to have poor seakeeping and steadiness. I would be open to suggestions. I increased the draft, thinking that it would be helpful. This is the rather bad Springsharp report:
